I have a web site with a contact form in it. It keeps getting filled in with
junk, mostly instead of the actual names and addresses etc, there are random
links to web sites. I whave tried a captcha thing but couldn't get it to
work. Also I find these a bit annoying and untidy. I have heard that you can
set questions that only a human can answer but I am unsure how to do this . I
can insert the question, ie, are you human? or insert the underlined word in
the box. The problem comes with getting the form to be rejected if the answer
is incorrect
Please help.

Requires server side processing (asp, asp.NET, PHP etc) to validate the form
data. Some examples are at
